The Beatles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here comes the sun, doo, dun, doo, doo
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, doo, dun, doo, doo
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right

Little darling, the smile's returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, doo, dun, doo, doo
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear

Here comes the sun, doo, dun, doo, doo
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right

Here comes the sun, doo, dun, doo, doo
Here comes the sun




It's all right
It's all right

Overall Meaning

The song 'Here Comes the Sun' by The Beatles is a beautiful tribute to spring after a long, dark winter. It's a song about hope and renewal, and it speaks to the idea that even in the darkest of times, there is always the promise of a new day. The lyrics begin with the repetition of "Here comes the sun," which is a metaphor for the arrival of a much-needed change. The singer acknowledges the hard times they've been through, saying "Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter." But with the arrival of the sun, he feels more optimistic, as "Little darling, the smile's returning to the faces." The repetition of the title line at the beginning and end of the song lets us know that the focus of the piece is the sun overcoming darkness and reminding us that life is full of beauty and possibility.


Throughout the song, The Beatles use evocative language and imagery to express the feelings of hope that come with the arrival of spring. For example, in the line "Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting," the "ice" symbolizes the cold and darkness of winter, while its slow melting represents the gradual thawing and warming of the Earth. This line is particularly poignant because it suggests that the process of renewal takes time and can be difficult, but it is ultimately rewarding. Additionally, the repeated use of the phrase "It's all right" reinforces the idea that everything will be okay in the end, no matter what trials we might face.


Overall, 'Here Comes the Sun' is a moving and uplifting song that captures the essence of spring and the hope it brings for new beginnings.

I can't believe this song is 50 years old. When it first heard it, it wasn't even 30 yet and George was still with us.

@IrisCrain

I'm pretty sure I heard it before I was born, my mom was a huge Beatles fan!!

@ELLIOT1311

I wasn’t born until 30 years after it was released.

@MissAstorDancer

It is truly hard to believe it's been 50 years! I was 16 years old, and bought the album as soon as it was released in the US. Abbey Road is my favorite album!
